Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 222 Magic Treasure-Grade: Golden Stone Bottle

The lifespan of the last Refining Spirit Method and Thunder Method had not yet been replenished, so this Soul Refining Method might be more complete.

Having spent only three hundred years of his lifespan, the new method was already complete in Gu Qing's mind.

As the name suggests, the Soul Refining Technique requires a sufficiently high level of soul strength to support its operation.

Gu Qing's nascent soul form undoubtedly meets the requirements.

Its core concept is only one: how to achieve the concept of "using tools to control tools".

It operates fully automatically.

In the past, this concept was generally achieved through the collaboration of mechanical engineering and software development. There was a chance of defective products, but the yield rate reached 99%, which was very close to 100%.

The Hundred Reincarnations Soul Refining Method, after its evolution, was renamed "Treasure Condensation Technique." It lies between divine sense secret techniques and weapon refining methods, possessing characteristics of both, and was categorized by Gu Qing as a secret technique.

Its function is to refine weapons.

Choose a suitable [Treasure Gathering Furnace] and use your divine sense as the resource to continuously refine weapons; you will need to provide the materials yourself.

The Golden Stone Treasure Bottle is the perfect choice for the [Treasure Gathering Furnace]. This thing is the hardware, and the "Treasure Gathering Technique" is the software. Only by combining hardware and software can we get things done.

Similarly, the Treasure Condensation Technique will occupy a portion of Gu Qing's divine sense power, like burdening the nascent nascent soul, reducing the upper limit of his divine sense power.

This problem is easy to solve; simply stop using the Treasure Condensation Technique during the battle.

The key to the improvement lies in the fact that the two treasure restrictions, [Refining Treasure Restriction] and [Soul Consciousness Restriction], are the core, and they are backward compatible.

Nine patterns constitute one taboo.

The nine prohibitions form one path.

The three-tier advancement system divides the grades into lower, middle, and upper levels. They can also be referred to as magic artifacts with a certain number of patterns, spiritual artifacts with a certain number of restrictions, etc. Reaching ten patterns or ten restrictions is considered the highest grade.

A magic weapon of the highest level is the substantial manifestation of the law, which is called the Dao pattern. The Devouring Dao pattern of the Taotie head is an example of this.

The Dao patterns can be selected to match and inscribed multiple times.

It can also follow the same path as the Demon-Slaying Technique, using the power of flying bricks to break through all laws, focusing on studying and strengthening only one method.

Currently, Gu Qing is a peak seventh-grade weapon refiner.

The next step is to become a sixth-grade weapon refiner, capable of refining magical treasures. He has accumulated decades of experience at this level and is already ready to break through.

The Treasure-Gathering Technique is the opportunity.

After meditating and recovering for a while, he opened his mouth and spat out flames of burning gold. The shimmering gold and stone bottle was taken out by Gu Qing and quickly grew larger.

In the blink of an eye, a three-meter-tall cyan-gold treasure bottle stood in the weapon-refining room of Qingyun Tower.

This superior-grade spiritual artifact possesses a rather unique ability: it can absorb the metallic aura emitted by objects made of metal, stone, and rare iron, thereby advancing its level.

Over the years, it was used by Gu Qing as a warehouse for equipment, and the material reached its limit.

Its interior is based on the Void Cloud Crystal, and the space it has created is even larger than the Azure Cloud Tower, second only to the Void Land of the Gluttonous Head.

To reforge it, incorporating the two core restrictions of the Treasure Condensation Technique is only the foundation; new equipment must also be incorporated, and for this, we must thank our previous accumulation.

The treasures he obtained from the Myriad Serpent Nest Secret Realm were enough to sustain him until he reached the sixth rank. Although there weren't many sixth-rank materials, there were still more than a dozen kinds, each one a fine piece.

While heating the precious metal bottle with the incinerating fire, Gu Qing was also selecting equipment.

"The sixth-grade superior Divine Edge Silver Flakes, although a treasure of the metal element, is biased towards attack. It is suitable for refining into twin swords, but not suitable for auxiliary items like the Gold and Stone Treasure Bottle."

"The best is a spiritual object that enhances one's fundamental nature."

Pick and choose.

In the end, Gu Qing chose one thing.

This is a mid-grade, sixth-rank mica-based item. Its earth element component is larger than its metal element component, perfectly matching the vase's ability to nurture minerals and metals, and should significantly enhance this function. Minerals placed inside have a chance to automatically advance in grade.

Of course, the highest level cannot exceed the grade of the magic weapon itself. The Treasure Condensation Technique also has this limitation, which is normal.

"You're the one! Begin the training!"

The Treasure Condensation Technique is a sixth-grade secret technique and weapon refining method. Gu Qing had previously reached the level of mastery, which was extremely close to the state of perfection. After its evolution, it became even more profound.

If one's skill level drops to the basic level, it's not difficult to learn through practice and strive to reach the advanced level, which already meets the requirements for weapon crafting.

In the days that followed, Gu Qing focused all her energy on this matter.

Re-refining the vase.

First, the restrictions are supplemented. Then, with the [Treasure-Gathering Restriction] as the core and other restrictions as nourishment, it is continuously nourished to grow. During the process of absorption and formation, the Treasure-Gathering Restriction will gradually acquire the characteristics of other restrictions and gradually become a Dao pattern.

This process presents an excellent opportunity to integrate new materials.

In the Cangwu cultivation world, every magical treasure is unique, and that is why.

Different laws and restrictions make up Dao patterns, and even the same Dao pattern can have different characteristics, effects, and details.

This is hard work; it can only be done slowly and patiently.

Gu Qing had experience with the path of fusion advancement when he learned the two weapon patterns, [Spirit Forging] and [Thousand Machines]. Combined with his rapidly improving mastery of the Treasure Condensation Technique and his solid foundation in weapon forging, the process could only be described as smooth.

No ripples.

Six months later, the exquisite and magnificent golden-stone bottle was reforged. The cyan-gold bottle now had many mysterious and intricate runes, and its precious light had completely subsided.

The Golden Stone Bottle, a treasure of magical value, was also the first magical artifact he ever acquired.

As for its offensive power, it can only be said to have reached the lower limit of a magic weapon.

Its main strength lies in its auxiliary effects.

With its storage capacity advancing by leaps and bounds, the next step is to test its refining effects. In principle, its limit is to refine high-grade spiritual artifacts. Top-grade spiritual artifacts are a special case, falling between spiritual artifacts and magic treasures, and exceeding its capabilities.

Infuse it with abundant magical power and drive its operation with divine consciousness.

The treasure bottle indeed began refining the gold and minerals stored inside. After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing used his divine sense to guide it. He had to actively guide it through the first cycle, similar to leaving a sample.

"Let's try refining a low-grade spiritual weapon first, following the template of the 'Flowing Light Sword'."

The material of this artifact is gilded stone, a product of the Taiyi gilded ore source. It is an eighth-grade material. After being refined and supplemented with a small amount of seventh-grade equipment, it can be forged into the Flowing Light Spirit Sword.

This method of saving materials can be considered Gu Qing's experience and summary, a unique technique. After all, no other weapon refiner can refine a large number of identical magical artifacts like him.

In the past, for the sake of convenience and speed, finished products had to "digest" the key points of the finished product.

Efficiency is the priority now.

If he were to refine it by hand, at Gu Qing's pace, it would only take ten to twenty days. Making the Golden Stone Bottle operate automatically would take longer, but it wouldn't consume his energy.

A month later.

Two Radiant Swords were forged, and Gu Qing consumed them, causing his Weapon Dao Points to surge by a thousand, roughly equivalent to eighty-three years of his lifespan.

He wasn't very familiar with it since it was his first time using it, and he had to wait for the aquarius to catch up with his speed, which made him much slower.

But the template has already been left behind and incorporated into the system.

P.S.: Some parts of the weapon crafting content and settings were written incorrectly in the earlier text. It's not that they were not rigorous, but rather that they were confused. Sometimes when I'm writing, my mind goes blank, and the settings I come up with are very different from the settings I actually implement, so it's easy to make mistakes.

Moreover, it's not that I don't want to make changes, but once a certain period of time has passed, published chapters cannot be modified. Only when a reader points out a typo can the typo be corrected. If I want to make large-scale changes, I have to apply for permission from the editor.

I'm so sad (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
